The Pink Robin differs in color between the sexes, and its habitat changes with the season. It breeds in deep gullies in damp forest and uses more open, drier places in winter.
Males have brownish-black upperparts, a black throat and head, and pink across the breast continuing to the belly. Females are olive-brown above, with cinnamon-colored underparts and pale wing patches.
In the breeding season, Pink Robins use deep gullies with dense shrubs in damp eucalypt forest or cool temperate rainforest. In winter they occur in more open, drier habitat and catch insects from the ground or low bushes by darting from a perch.
